As reported to the FAA. Reports are unverified, and codes are left as the FAA publishes them.

What was found

(CAN) REFERENCE AD CF-96-20R2, AND MOD 8/2337, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL MOD. THE SUPPLIED STRIKER ASSEMBLY COULD NOT BE INSTALLED AS PER INSTRUCTIONS BECAUSE ITS NARROWER THAN THE COCKPIT DOOR FRAME BY ABOUT 1/8". SUBMITTER SUGGESTS THAT STRIKER COULD BE INSTALLED IF IT WAS FLATTENED ON THE CURVED END. THIS IS RE-OCCURRING PROBLEM FOR THIS OPERATOR FLEET. SB 8-5-39 IS RELEVANT, AND OPERATOR IS IN CONTACT WITH DE HAVILLAND TO GET FIX.
